Media praise
for Owl's recordings have come from such sources as American Record
Guide, Audio, EAR, Fanfare, High Fidelity, and Keyboard.

In order to gain
exposure for these important recordings, over the years Owl has distributed
thousands of free copies of its recordings to music libraries, radio stations,
critics, and publications. These recordings have thus not only received
impressive reviews in the print media, but they have also reached literally
millions of listeners via radio airplay.

Owl Recording,
Inc. was formed in 1974, and in 1976 Owl became the first nonspecialized
tax-exempt record label in the United States. Since then it has received
support from various sources, such as the National Endowment for the Arts.
